With the American army in France,
April 19. Alt efforts by the Ger

around Hangard-EnSanterre and
prevent them from yjding rein
forcements further north, where the
enemy, is launching an attack against
the British lines, have failed.
The French m the course of
numerous engagements in this dis
trict have greatly improved their
positions and have not in any way
been deceived by the attempted
diversions of the enemv.
The battles in the neighborhood of
TTnncaiv) have been of a fierce Char
acter, involving hand-toihand fight
ing in the Streets and inside houses.
The village itself has changed hands
several times, but . now is firmely
held by the French, who, throughout
the most determined onslaught of
the German's superior forces, have
displayed great courage.
The Germans have lost enormous
numbers of men, their dead lying
about everywhere. A considerable
number of their men also have been
forced to surrender. Since April 12,
there have been rdpeated small at
tacks by German shock troops. All

enemies, according to Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm of Prussia, son. of the late
Prince Albrecht, regent of Bruns
wick, as quoted by the Cologne Volks
Zeitung. In a speech at Breslau, says

Since U.S. Entered War
Washington. April 19. Ship con
struction in this country has exceeded
many fold American losses by sub
marines since the Irnited Stataes
entered the war, shipping board
officials said today in discussing the
statement of the Germain minister of
the navy. Vice Admiral von Capelle,
before the main committee of the
Reichstag, that U-boat sinkings
were thrice or six-fold the tonnage
of new British construction.
It was pointed out that he made
no such claim with respect to Amer
ican shipping, which has suffered the
loss of only three of four vessels
since war was declared. Sinkings Qf
American ships were" more frequent
when the United States was neutral
and unarmed against attack.
It was said tod- that not more
than 40 merchant ships flying the
American flag had been lost from all
cause, since the' war began nearly
four years ago.

Mrs. Longman, formerly. Miss Dow,
have appealed to staij authorities,
questioning the right of the Logan
school board to discharge her because
of its rule against employment ot

Washington, April 19. Immediate
enactment of legislation to permit tjf
military authorities to deal directly
with spies- and German propaganda
was urged before the senate military
committee today as the only way to
curb lynch law against disloyalty and I
enemy agitation. Representatives of
the army and naval intelligence de
partments and other witnesses told
the committee that the situation is'
sertous and cannot be handle's under
existing laws. ' '
Judge F. McGee of Minneapolis, a
member of the powerful public safety
commission organized- by citizens of
that state to aid the government in
the prosecution of the .war, declared
the Department of Justice's efforts
have been a "ghastly failure" in Min
nesota and that the Industrial Work
ers of the Wrorld is not one-half aS
dangerous as the Nonpartisan league
members, whom he characterized as
"traitors." He also termed socialists
traitors and said they should be in
terned. Judge McGee advocated or
ganizatfbn of firing squads and "work
ing them overtihic in order to make
up lost time."
Foresees State of Anarchy.
"Give rs the military'court, or when
the casualty lists come back and the
crepe hangs on the door, you will
have a state of anarchy in this coun
try," Judge McGee declared.
Judge McGee, told of the intense
feeling prevailing in sections of Min
nesota. In the German counties, he
said, stores are being installed by
Germans to compete with those con
trolled by Americans. Banks also
were being established, he said, upon
the advice ot the committee on puDiic
safety the state bank examiner estab
lished a rule refusing to grant charters
to banks until applications had been
submitted to the committee.
The testimony was given in con
nection with Senator Chamberlain's
bill, which would transfer from civil
courts to military courts martial, trials
of all persons charged with violating
the espionage act.
While the bill was being considered
by the committee opposition was de
veloping in the senate. Senator Borah
declared the bill if passed would be
unconstitutional and several mem
bers of the committee also questioned
its validity.
